The level of detail spilling out through media reports about crucial national security operations is raising the question of whether President Barack Obama's administration can keep a secret - or in some cases even wants to.

In just the past week, two tell-all articles about Obama's leadership as commander-in-chief have been published, dripping with insider details about his sleeves-rolled-up involvement in choosing terrorist targets for drone strikes and revelations about his amped-up cyber war on Iran.

Each article notes the reporters spoke to "current and former" American officials and presidential advisers, as well as sources from other countries.

"This is unbelievable ... absolutely stunning," a former senior intelligence official said about the level of detail contained in the cyberattack story.

The official noted that the article cited participants in sensitive White House meetings who then told the reporter about top secret discussions. The article "talks about President Obama giving direction for a cyberweapons attack during a time of peace against a United Nations member state."

The article follows on the heels of what many considered dangerous leaking of details about a mole who helped foil a plot by al Qaeda in Yemen. The revelations of the British national threatened what was described at the time as an ongoing operation.

The Yemen plot had many intelligence and national security officials flummoxed and angered by its public airing. Despite that, a senior administration official then briefed network counterterrorism analysts, including CNN's Frances Townsend, about parts of the operation.

But such briefings are an "obligation" for the administration once a story like the Yemen plot is publicized, insisted National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor.

"The reason that we brief former counterterrorism officials is because they are extremely conscientious about working with us about what can and cannot be said or disclosed," Vietor told Security Clearance. "They understand that there is an obligation for the U.S. to be transparent with American people about potential threats but will work with us to protect operational equities because they've walked in our shoes."

Questions were raised about why details of documents and other articles that were seized during the raid were discussed even before the intelligence community had time to review what they were holding.

Leon Panetta, who at the time was the director of the CIA and is now the defense secretary, penned a letter to CIA staff warning against loose lips.

In the letter, obtained by CNN, Panetta wrote that the operation, "led to an unprecedented amount of very sensitive - in fact, classified - information making its way into the press."

"Disclosure of classified information to anyone not cleared for it - reporters, friends, colleagues in the private sector or other agencies, former agency officers - does tremendous damage to our work. At worst, leaks endanger lives," the letter said.

In the latest case, the White House denied it was orchestrating the leak. Asked Friday if the Times' story detailing the cyberattack on Iran was an "authorized leak," White House spokesman Josh Earnest disagreed "in the strongest possible terms."

"That information is classified for a reason. Publicizing it would pose a threat to our national security," Earnest told reporters.

But the White House has tried to be more open about what have been secretive programs. The president himself became the first administration official to acknowledge U.S. drones were conducting attacks in Pakistan when he made a comment to a supporter in an online chat, even though officials through all the years of the program had never said publicly they were being conducted.

Then, in April, the president's assistant for homeland security and counterterrorism, John Brennan, publicly blew the cover off the drone program, saying in a speech that "yes, in full accordance with the law - and in order to prevent terrorist attacks on the United States and to save American lives - the United States government conducts targeted strikes against specific al Qaeda terrorists, sometimes using remotely piloted aircraft, often referred to publicly as drones."

Great items from you, man. I've have in mind your stuff previous to and you are just extremely great. I actually like what you have received here, certainly like what you are saying and the best way during which you say it. You are making it entertaining and you still care for to stay it wise. I can't wait to learn far more from you. This is actually a great site.

That is just plain stupid. I know for a fact the military does not like him. His "Wiggle room comment" drive's my husband nuts. Are you military? If you were then you would know when a secret operation goes down, that it is never let out who does it. Many units train for it and no one knows who did it except the unit chosen. Obama has a big mouth. He did his vistory dance and claimed glory and he did nothing but say "do it". He was on the golf course and had to be pulled off when it went down. He cares nothing for the military, if fhe did he would keep his mouth shut and consider that lives are more important then a glory moment for him.

Am I miliary? I am a retired USAF Intelligence Officer with 24 years of service. It's interesting to see how the anti-Obama ex-SEAL groups react to one of their own writing about the OBL raid.

first years wave strollre review

Thanks , I have recently been searching for information about this topic for a long time and yours is the best I've found out till now. However, what about the conclusion? Are you certain in regards to the source?|What i do not realize is in fact how you're not really much more well-liked than you may be right now. You are very intelligent.

Barry is not even Barrack Hussein Obama, he is really Frank Marshall Davis, Junior. Google it an look at the photos. He bears no resemblance to the chubby cheeked BHO Sr. Barry's mama was a groupie of Davis'.

". . . he is really Frank Marshall Davis, Junior"? My, what an ACTIVE imagination! There is no evidence that Obama's mother ever met Davis, much less that they were intimate. Such propaganda is par for the course in the Conservative Disinformation Network.

I am not American but I acknowledge the FACT that America's efforts in combating global terror is really paying off and has helped so much in keeping us-the rest of the world safer. Only God will bless them. In fact I won't forget how Prez Bush disturbed their cells every including in the most obscure locations of the earth-no wonder they hated him so intensely.
Though WMDs were not found with Saddam, it is a known fact by all that Saddam had the program. And by now if Saddam was left intact, the terrorists would possessed the bomb by now, and you and me might not be alive by now. They didn't find the bomb but ousted Saddam? Never mind! Some one said Saddam hid them in Syria close to the US invasion. Might be true. Man was something else.

Obama is straight gangsta and just wants to let the world know. Instead of standing in front of the world and making statements like "were gonna getcha", he plays cool, acts unfazed, then calls a hit on your @ss.

Yes, but unfortunately some of those on his hit list are cancer patients and little old ladies. Government sponsored terrorism against medical marijuana patients is treason. No more thugs in San Diego – Stop the Final Solution by Dirty Dumanis.

Don't worry Doc – Dumanis will lose her mayoral bid in San Diego because everyone knows she is an ugly thug.

I suspect Republican sympathisers. Mitt Romney, last week, started hinting that the Republicans are "tougher" on national security than Democrats, but I also get flash-backs to the last election where John McCain tried to insinuate the same. But my question is: If the Republicans were so tough on security, how come we had 9/11, and especially since the Democrats warned George the Second about the intel?

Bush wasn't in that long. How about Clinton who was golfing when they could have gotten Bin Laden and he didn't want to be disturbed. Obama and the liberals discovered a new fault line running under the DC area and they named it the Bush fault. Obama needs to man up. The the comment he made in SF while he was running in 2008 about the military you can tell lhe has no respect for them, but as a get relected ticket..

The terrorist threat during the Clinton administration was lower.

Clinton was too busy golfing or playing around with women.
The Terrorists took years to plan 9/11. Obama loves to leak help him get re-elected. What a stupid thing he did in naming Seal Team 6 and also going to visit the Aircraft carrier that disposed of Bin Laden's body. Hubby's a Navy man and he about had a heart attack when Obama did that. He said what a stupid thing to do putting men at risk. I know for a facrt he is NOT popular with the military.

Defeat Romney

BREAKING NEWS. Republican CEOs are conspiring with Republicans in Congress to hold off on hiring to keep the unemployment rate over 8%. PASS IT ON! DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION!

Hey Jules, I happen to know first hand that it is the local government calling the DEA to come in not the president sending them in. The same thing happened in Montana and believe it or not it was the Republican leaders that were behind the raids. If fact in Montana the Republican legislature passed a law over turning the bill that was voted in by the citizens. How's that for government overstepping.

CNN is certainly cooperating in this effort! Turn on CNN TV and see how many foreigners they now employ! I am personally offended by this! I used to enjoy watching CNN when I get home from work (yes, I still have a job). Now, when Piers Morgan comes on, I change the channel and watch America citizens on Fox! True, I hate Fox and all their obviously slanted "reporting", but I refuse to watch a Brit (non-citizen) while so many highly qualified Americans are out of work!

If it seriously offends you that someone other than an American is working for CNN, you should probably never go outside, because half the people in your gated community have immigrants mowing their lawns...

...Hey Defeat Romney...Hiring is is a business decision,nothing more....I will hire 2 people as soon as ObamaScare is defeated...not before.., we dont need a conspiiracy to defeat Zippy...dont flatter yourself...RodLogic

If Americans elect Romney, I pray that the U.S. fails is a huge way because it means the majority want to go back to the policies that got them into this mess in the first place. How STUPID can they be? LOL

People like you are why I support late term abortion. It's never to late, put a gun in your mouth and do us all a favor and pull the trigger.

We can always hope if your to much of a chicken that one of your fellow democrats drives by and sprays you just out of the fun of it. Got to love drive by shootings, the innocents are always fellow democrats.

Not the most important thing, although the debt under Obama is pertinent. I would say the most important thing is Obama's promise of transparency and commitment to the rule of law. We still have no way of having his assassinations of US citizens reviewed. He has carte blanche on which American he decides will die and hypocrites say they trust him even though the next president will inherit the precedent of murdering Americans without constitutional rights. Civil liberty groups have had to fight harder against Obama than they did against Bush. Yet somehow Obama is seen as a "good guy."

Romney will win in November by a landslide -- Communist News Network (CNN) is sinking fast...

let me ask you one question, if your lied to enough does it become true. Your defending the indefencable. I don't want to hear your talking points, just go through one by one all the things this president has said and truely ask yourself if you believe any of it. If you truely believe it then ask yourself again because you were not trying to be objective.

Obama has sunk his own ship. He has pours trillions down rat holes. He did not create jobs. He gave money to people how donated big to him (GE, ec.) Stop blaming the Repulicans, man up and realize that the " change you can believe in" you voted for came true, but not the way you wanted it to. He is at the helm of the ship and the buck stops there. Face the facts he and other liberals are not man enough to stand up and accept that they made a mistake and stop acting like a two year old and blaming others. In other words GROW UP! We are in the biggest debt ever and now face the biggest tax increase ever. He has spent more money than anyother other President in the history of the country and we have gone nowhere, don't blame the republicans Obama is the one spending the money like a drunken sailor.

June 30, 2012 at 4:25 pm |

DO YOU PEOPLE really think Obama made Hillary Secretary of State because he liked her? hell no, he made her that so he wouldn't have to run against her in 4 years.

It takes a good Defense to stop a good Offense no matter if the Defense knows the play or not. Terrorist and Iran don't have good Defenses. Obama has shown time and time again he's pretty good at what he's been accomplishing, Drones are highly affective, although controversial, yet save many American lives and tax payer money. Cyber war with Iran, and most other governments around the globe, well it's been going on forever, if they didn't already know about it, it's been on the news before, just proves they have a terrible Defense.

When I wanted more transparency in the government, revealing top secret military info is NOT what I wanted. I wanted the daylight shone on the secret deals between congresspersons and lobbyists, etc...not our militay secrets told to all the world.

We all say how much we hate politicians, yet we voted each and every last one into office. Now here comes November, and once again we're idiotically voting for the same old bullcrap (Obama and Romney). Here's a novel idea: if you don't like it, don't vote for it!

Ah, so THIS is to be the right-wing avenue of attack against Obama promoted by Corporate News Network and all the other corporate-owned media desperate to discredit a president REMARKABLY effective on national security... Yeah we have no choice but to admit, he got Bin Laden and most of the al Queda hierarchy, but he BRAGGED about it and LEAKED about it! No, he didn't land on an aircraft carrier wearing a codpiece under a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner, he didn't show video or photos like Saddams dead sons or Saddams dental exam, but he (subtly) bragged by announcing to the world, the death of the mastermind of 9/11, occasionally mentioning it but certainly not beating his chest nor bashing his predecessors failure to achieve that . That should've never seen the light of day, by this hit-piece's logic. Pathetic and transparent, CNN! You can't credibly argue he didn't accomplish a MAJOR issue of national importance, so you seek to smear him and reduce the MASSIVE credit due to him, by claiming quite unconvincingly, that his accomplishment is negated because of what's come out since. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC! This piece seeks to do nothing less, than deny Obama the credit he's due and replace it with yet more right-wing attack talking points. CNN...your credibility with the American people is already in jeopardy according to your ratings... Turn into FauxNoise and your journey to oblivion will accelerate. Suggestion to increase ratings: Abandon gimmicks and appeals to partisanship, and return to offering non-infotainment actual context-providing NEWS that America is starving for!

Obama didnt get bin laden.... The great american folks fighting for us, found him and killed him. Obama said yes its ok for you guys to do that.... just saying Thank you to our troops who actually did something, unlike Obama

June 3, 2012 at 1:22 am |

Nah

You mean the same national security plans instituted by Bush and protested by liberals every day of Bush's term?

Those ones?

That you're now championing?

How partisan are you?

June 3, 2012 at 2:08 am |

CNN has certainly reduced its relevance today, I agree!
I would suggest (and have suggested to them) that CNN stop hiring all these foreigners they now have delivering "news" into our homes! Why do I have to listen to Piers Morgan, and other foreigners every night??? Doesn't CNN understand that there are many qualified American citizens they could hire? Gotta love those H1B visas! Keeps the unemployment numbers high!

Robyn Bj

and more dead people wll be vtng for him , can't blame Bush next time, time for him to man-up to his own mistakes but hey that is what you get for voting for a community organizer.

Obama "got" nobody. He gave the order from a padded chair and braver men who actually serve in this country's military got Bin Laden. You also seem to forget that he acted like a dictator with Libya. Going to war without so much as notifying congress is illegal and is an impeachable offense. Even then it was the people of Libya who got Gaddafi. There was no order from the president and Americans didn't take him out. If Gaddafi is such a prize, why did you not give Bush such credit for getting Saddam who murdered and tortured thousands of his own citizens? The bias of how war is okay if it's your party doing it is disgusting.

gawd..can't chat on Faux anymore , thought i'd check out this bunch of losers...not a word on Mitt Romney's Viet nam war time..you know the old dude is 65 and spent his Vnam war days in France...french fries anyone.....????

So what happened to freedom of speech. If CNN censored the anti Obama comments that would indeed show how bias the Liberal Media is. If people would have called for censoring all the Anti-Bush statements the Left would be screaming unfair. What is good for the goose is good for the gander..

Bush was a coward..joined the N guard...which didn't fight in vnam and now you have Romney as your choice and he spent his Vam years in France...you guys seem to lean toward cowards...french fries anyone??

Did it finally come out that Obama wants Bill Clinton to bring the girls to the party, the same girls or Porn stars that Clinton was photographed with last month. Bring them on Bill that is right up your alley.

Are you retarded? The last time the Iranian President spoke at the UN, he repeated again how the "Zionist" warmongering nation and its masters in the West are responsible for all the bad things in the world, and the Holocaust never happened, and he is going to wipe Israel off the map, yada yada yada...

The only reason there is peace between us and them is because he knows if he attacks us he will end up like Sadam and Osama!!

Now, I hear Obama is blaming the country, American citizens, for his failures. He says we have "Republican Fever." ????? Oh, well...at least he didn't mention Bush this time.

Actually, though, he has the completely wrong disease: what we truly suffer from is "Obama-itis." And, unlike Republican Fever," which manifests itself in common sense, patriotism, spending limits, cuts in ridiculous regulations and totally stupid spending, maturity of thought and actions, acceptance of responsibility, good work habits and ethics, compassion based on genuine care and not on welfare ideology, a refusal to become a slave to the STATE, and work and jobs for those who are able (even if they're NOT WILLING)...well, I'm afraid "Obama-itis" is FATAL. To America, to Americans, to work, to jobs, to a decent life, to the Constitution and to liberty and freedom. Gee, I frankly think I'd rather have "Republican Fever." It doesn't sound like it's too bad.

Its all Bush's fault. It is the do nothing congress fault. The sun got in my eyes, the dog ate my homework. Obama took care of the important stuff last week; he came out in support of gay marriage. Whew! I sure am
glad for his "laser focus" on what is important!

I think that to refuse to give the Nation details of the Bin Laden raid – then hand them on a plate to Hollywood producers so they can make a film about it to boost his own ratings is pretty treasonous without all the rest. He's not fit to run a dogs' home let alone America.

Reagan closed all the Federal Mental Hospitals an sent 500,000 mentally ill men and women out into the streets with no food, except trash, no place to sleep except the alley, no medication....

Regan closed the Veterans homes to Vietnam Vets, ending over 100 years of providing a place for returning war veterans to live after combat, to readjust to civilian life...Reagan's political appointed leaders in the VA denied Vietnam Vets claims of exposure and damages to Agent Orange...while selling Saddam diluted Agent Orange in the form of Roundup to be used as a nerve gas..

Regan took Iraq off the list of terrorist nations in 1982 and sold duel use chemicals to Saddam..

Reagan sold Saddam in Iraq WMD's using his foreign policy of arming anyone that would fight our enemy for us...Iran...Reagan sold Saddam Anthrax, Sarin Gas, Tuban Gas, Mustard Gas, Botulism, Diluted Agent Orange, in the form of Roundup, to use as a nerve gas on the Iranian troops and the Iraqi Kurds...Reagan even sold Yellow Cake to Iraq, which was taken to Iran and is used in their Nuky weapons program now...

Reagan used his VP GHWBush the former head of the CIA to setup fake corporations to ship in the nasty chemicals from 1980-1989..the same years of the Iran-Iraq War...Reagan used Donald Rumsfeld as his point man to Saddam and Rumsfeld used his number one guy...Dick Cheney...

Reagan even had spies in Carter campaign office sending debate material to Reagan. The Gipper bought the other teams playbook..not very honorable at all..

Reagan sent people to talk to Iran's leader and promise to release Iranian bank assets and sell weapons, and parts and even SAM missiles to Iran..if Iran held the US Embassy Hostages till after the election...

Reagan approved selling shoulder launched missiles to Afghanistan, and helped make Bin Laden a hero and leader of Al-Qaeda...Reagan began the decline of the unions and salaries of the average worker..helped the rich keep more of their profits, share less with the workers, hide profits overseas away from Federal Tax Laws...

30 years of not pay Federal Taxes on income...40 to 100 billion each year in lost Federal Taxes from these Huge American Corporations...no help from them to pay for our military, pay for our Embassies, our Intelligence agencies..yet those same corporations use those US assets all the time for free...

Reagan kept too many things secret...that is why we had to fight Iraq twice to make sure we got all of Reagan's WMD's back...

By today's Tea Partiers/Conservative/etc standards – Reagan would be considered a Socialist because he taxed the wealthy (through the Earned Income Tax) and then directed the Treasury to disperse the revenue harvested to the poorest Americans many of whom did not work nor pay taxes.

Gus – you must have noticed that every time anyone draws attention to Obama's lack of ability / intelligence / honesty – the terminally stupid Liberals rush for the history books to prove that someone else was worse!

These people are apologists for the worst president EVER!

June 2, 2012 at 11:16 pm |

Gus

@Pax:

Actually, the worst president ever was James Buchanan and, in my experience, "liberals" are no more likely to resort to this type of reasoning than are "conservatives." Let's not forget that it was Richard Nixon who justified his actions by claiming that Kennedy and Johnson were worse.

June 2, 2012 at 11:43 pm |

listen barry, the ECONOMY stinks and all you can do is fingerpoint 4 yrs later? take responsibility for once...stop passing the buck. Its so weak....hes like a kid who keeps saying, it wasnt me, it wasnt me...

admit it barry, you failed the american people...

what is it with people that STILL will vote for him...if he wasnt black articulate and good looking, would anyone vote for him? not a chance. The media is so complicit in attempting to persuade people to vote for him.

And the Faux MEDIA with their friendly rich oligarchs have been determined to wreck
his administration since the day he took office. Your propaganda minister, Limbaugh,
has been the "media" vehicle thru which your neo-facist attacks have been mounted.

What a crock! You're really following your leader with his snivelling "they won't play my game cause I'm black!" He knew he way out of his league from day one – HE set the scene as a safety device.

And btw – didn't the Democrats say EXACTLY the same thing about GWB from day one? Trouble with Barry is that he can dish it out but he can't take it. Like you really.

Exactly....Paxhomnibus hit the nail on the head. Obama's Ministry of Truth is reaping what they sowed. Too bad he can't run on his failed, discredited policies so has to resort to lame, vague character assasination. Pretty low, even for the Campaigner in Chief.

Ironic that you point the finger at Obama while complaining about him pointing the finger. Please try to stay on topic. Discuss the article, not the GOP vs Dem ideology.

I'd vote for Donald Duck (or Daffy Duck, but he's black, too) over any contender in the Republican primaries. I might have voted for John Huntsman, but he was never a contender. I'm a Democrat, but I'm not crazy about Obama. You guys might have had a shot with a candidate that isn't a moron.

So the Secret Service agents are rebelling, and leaking secrets??...since they can not grab a prostitute and take them back to their hotel any more..they are trading White House secrets to female reporters for special servicing...

OBAMA is not the person who leaked. It's probably some two-bit programmer who wrote the thing and is now bragging about it to his friends..... Stop blaming him for things done by someone he probably has never even met!

There is no reason anyone needs to know anything, but the liberal government has blabbed out all over the place. It has cost lives. Then we had the guns for goons program and now drones flying over US skies.
Pathetic!

This just shows how desperate Ovomit is that he is willing to throw those people under the bus that have helped in these missions. It has nothing to do with being transparent since nothing else has been transparent throught the long four years, especially his birth certificate and all his school records. This has been one of the least transparant four years in the history of the US.

Yeah, it like he donned a jump suit and landed on an aircraft carrier and declared Mission Accomplished, or something. That BHO, what an attention hog. Nyah nyah, look what I did, killed Osama bin Laden, nyah nyah nyah....

Yeah, not like BO got on National TV over and over and milked how he personally killed Bin Laden then tried to say how nobody else would do it but hiim, other than about 95% of the free world... But dont let that get in the way of your good story... continue..

Right....that never happens wih any other President. Ever consider that some things they want the "others" to know? Probably not....since it's obvious you have it in for Obama.

What is the purpose of the secrecy that Beatrix the Queen of the Netherlands is currently visiting the United States? Is it not in the interest of Americans to know this? People often remember that the British held land in the U.S., but they often forget the Dutch.

The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.
–John F. Kennedy

How is this any worse than Cheney outing the CIA agents to the world. Valerie Plame carried a business card with a fake business as a cover – when Cheney outed her, he outed every other agent that used that business as a front. Wonder if anybody died as a result. If we don't penalize people for treason that have committed Treason, why go after Obama because of people "past officials and people in other countries." Besides, how don't you know when information is deliberately released as propoganda?

#1. Mormons are NOT a cult #2 The It came out the the bulling incident was not as reported (the so called victim's family said that it wasn't true #3 There are pictures of Obama doing pot in his year book he thanked his dealer. Not only that but his high school classmates have said he did do pot, not to mention Obama himself.

Because smoking a j is a normal act of growing up that about 99% of all teenagers experiment with at one time or another, and assaulting a child because he was possibly gay and had long hair is a hate crime? Hmmmm....

I don't know where you get your numbers, they are way off. I didn't smoke or try that stuff or either did my friends. As for a hate crime, look up0 and see that the said incident was found not to be true.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Obama admitted it and Romney pretends he didn't remember it.... don't you see the difference in honesty? I do.

You need to understand that conservatives have basically put Obama in a unique kind of parallel universe in which 2 or more states of being are possible at the same time. Kind of like quantum physics, or Schrodinger's Cat. Faced with choices X or Y, Obama is wrong when he chooses either X or Y. Doesn't matter which he chooses, he is always wrong. Similarly, Obama is both Kenyan and Indonesian. He is both President of the United states and an anti-American foreigner. His is Hitler and Stalin. Fascist and Communist. I know, its confusing, but conservatives are smarter than us and have been able to resolve this seemingly contradictory outlook by fusing Tea Party politics with string theory.

Very well said "Oysters" – but you did omit noting that it could very well BE those "conservatives", Republicans, Tea-Partiers in position to know the content of what is being leaked who are doing the leaking themselves to cause embarassment and doubt regarding Obama and his administration.

After all – Republican dirty tricks and the mega-noise machine is an old story when it comes to them. Unfortunately there are enough citizens too stipid to recognize them and not fall again and again and again for the same old tactics.

There's "transparent" for the brainwashed Liberals and there's criminally irresponsible to the rest of Intelligent America!

And you're the fools who wanted the Pope's resignation because a member of staff snaffled some peivate correspondence from his desk??????? Bigotted sheep!

And unfortunately there is no sense in your post but I'll bet you blame that on Obama.

This is more than a problem for the current administration. It happened under previous presidents too. The public has a need to know everything and too many 'officials' are willing to compromise American security to be the anonymous informant. Americans think we have to know everything because we have been so often lied to and mislead.

When the secrets of the atom bomb was given to Russia by a man and his wife what would have happened if the NY Times had those secrets? Why they would have printed them on the front page. We have no reporters, publishers or media that wouldn't publish information that will harm or embarris this country. Netiher will they name the trators that give them the secrets.

But you don't have any problem with the press demanding the Pope's resignation because a trusted member of staff snaffled private correspondence from his desk?
And you don't have a problem with that being used to harm the Pope's reputation?

The recent news about the imminent danger due to floods to the nuclear plant in Nebraska is eye opening. First Japan and now this. If technologically advanced countries cannot handle this surely third world countries would also struggle. Quid pro quo transfer of nuclear technology by USA to third world countries such as India needs to be opposed on moral grounds. Billions of people live in that neighborhood and would be at risk from such catastrophes which I am sure the American people would not like to be a party to. We are all well aware that that region is prone to floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, and of course terrorism placing such nuclear installations at tremendous risks. US Congress and Obama Administration is urged to reconsider and cancel all the agreements for the transfer of such technologies due “Force Majeure”.

These indian bozos can't even run a train how the heck they are going to operate these american nuclear plants. Absolutely no way we should be giving them these handouts. Cancel all nuclear agreements with India.

@ Pastor...Agreed . Americans will never be able to live with their conscience should millions be effected due to a nuclear accident. I full endorse cancelling all agreements taht pertain to transferring any or all nuclear technology to India.

Obama isnt as bad as people make him out to be, this whole "Obama is a Socialist" crap is getting old. Do you know what would happen if our country was purely capitalist? Well, take a look at Wall Street and the downturn of the Economy the last 10 years, thats all due to the capitalism we have here, big companies and banks dont give a shit about the average person, they only care about profits, profits, and more profits...

The only way we are gonna be able to change all this crap is to rise up and remove these corrupt leaders from their posts and appoint ones who have the great citizens of this nation in their heart, not the size of its coffers.

It says it right in our constitution:
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

It goes on to say that no small matter should be the start of something like this, but i dont think the well-being of our nation is a small thing. It is time we stand up for the country our forefathers built for us, and show them that we will not let these greed mongering sycophants run us out of our jobs and our homes!

To close, i leave with a quote from Thomas Jefferson:
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

List 2 factual reasons why Obama is worse than any other President...Im not asking for you're opinion either, give me 2 actual facts that make him a bad president

[1] He apologised for his country because a few tatty books were burnt the same day that 4 of your troops were shot in the head by the people he was apologising to
[2] He allows HOLLYWOOD to have the details of the Bin Laden raid before the people who employ him [ YOU!]
[3] He intervened in the Trayvon case – making it a racial issue wjth his personal comments.
[4] He is lying about the economy [Please see my response to MarcTheDuck]
[5] He's an inept boss and the buck stops with him in regard to the security leaks
[6] He greeted the people of Kentucky with a rousing "Hi! It's great to be here in Texas!
[7] The job figures are abysmal
[8] The world Bank have dumped him as a failure....

I mean what does it take to convince the terminally thick Liberals that he is a mess of epic proportions?????

There's no doubt that Obama was handed a difficult situation, but these leaks are hurting our allies, our operatives and even our nation in the eyes of the world. People hated us when GWB was president, well they hate even worse now and don't respect us because they see Obama as weak.

You're wrong. I'm British and we lost people in 9/11 too. We – like YOU were glad to go after Iraq based on what we were told. And you're lying if you say that even though Bush and Blair mislead the world you/we regret going in. You only turned against Bush because it wasn't as QUICK as you wanted it!
Obama invaded Pakistan illegally to get Bin Laden. But being hypocrites you LOVED it because it was over in a couple of days. [If you got him at all – I mean – an old man needing regular dialysis for 10 years while living in caves?????? Come on! ]
But if Pakistan had developed into a fight because of the illegality , Obama would an American political leper now too.

Well, at least they haen't blown the cover of any undercover CIA agents like Dick-less Cheany did.

Well you know I used to read the holy bible and I began pondering. The crucifix is a LIE, the sermons given by jesus would have in actuality would have been given by Moses the MAN of GOD, we are way past the book of revalelations, I've never broken any of the ten commandments, I've never done anything in the book of leviticus, I know that GOD THE FATHER is the only Creator of the Heavens and Earth, I know that GOD THE HOLYSPIRIT has many forms two which are the air we breath " the breath of life" and rain is another form of the HOLYSPIRIT. I do know that the TRINITY are 3 GODS of the male gender and that the SON is in the United States in georgia in the FLESH. I do know that when you want to hear the voice of GOD THE FATHER it is thundering and lightning that's how HE SPeaks to us. So in other words I am saying the bible is NOT holy and it is no longer needed. WE are going to get the book of AMOS now to take our knowledge to the next level, I'm always learning and growing.

Is Israel leaking info?....Does the current Israel leadership like Mitt Romney better...maybe because Mitt has already named 15 or 17 members of GWBush administration to his staff....Israel I hope is not doing anything like that...Obama is fair, Mitt is bought and sold by the top 1%...

Romney doesn't play Chicago style politics unlike the current resident of the WH. I am tired of getting into debt and have the money poured rat holes. He rewards his buddies that supported his campaign. Talk about payoffs etc-Obama will go down in history as the most corrupt President ever, you wait and see. He was very inexperienced when he ran for President, he was given his chance and all he did was divid our country burden up with the greatest debt ever and shoved a health program that will end up giving us more debt and taking our health care to a new low level.

It's nice to know your brain is nice and clean......but you might want to put some facts in there after the washers are through with you. Just a suggestion....put real facts on your shelves, not cheap knockoffs like you get from the republicans.

Get a reality check. ...99% really? Where did you get your facts from Obama? Isn't he the one who said he visited all 57 states and he's sorry he doesn't speak Austrian?

June 2, 2012 at 6:50 pm |

dreamer96

57
Yes if you include the 50 states and US Territories and Commonwealths...It is 57..Obama was just thinking of everyone...something the GOP does not do...And by the way The US. won both Taiwan, and Cuba, in wars, and occupied the two islands with our military..and have never signed those islands over to anybody else under international law...So China might consider that Taiwan is US property....

You know he didn't mean it, because he acknowledged the goof. He had no experience and nobody knew much about him. He sealed up his past, he didn't vote in congress and his main thing was a party organizer. "We entrusted our country to him just to have triple the debt and all the money poured down the rat holes. He had his chance and now it is anothers turn. You can support him all you want, but in good conscience I can't.

Please say your are kidding and not just a dope. I think it is time to stop reading these comments.

Pax....Funny but the McCarthy joke is in the GOP's hand they just played that one...and just because I say something critical of the current Israel leadership does not make me into a Jew hater...you should know the current Israel leadership has a pretty dark history...

Beats434...Yes I'm joking and No I'm not joking...Israel sells our latest military technology to China...they have done that several times....like Israel sold a signal collection airplane that was based on our plane to China just months after one of ours was crash landed in China...or have you forgotten??...

Robyn Bj

I saved you for last because your hypocrisy is by far the classic best...
Mitt Romney is play Dallas Texas Politics...anything goes..dirty tricks are the best tricks..
80% of our deficit is from Reagan, who tripled the deficit, GHWBush and GWbush...GOP ...
Cheney and his no bid contracts to his old company mean anything to you?....You should check out the Carlyle Group..
And the GOP, the tea party have been out to divide the country from the very beginning of the Obama Presidency...They are the ones waving the racist posters of Obama as the joker, the african witch doctor..the birthers...the Lock and load and win back the White House...for old white men...

And every modern civilized country pays for universal health care..

The GOP really needs to look at German..second largest exporter in the world, high taxes, strong highly trained union worker force, the unemployed are retrained, the German banks are strong, and bailing out the rest of Europe...they have universal health care, rich doctors and better care then we have...unless you are the top 1% of course..

The GOP are protecting the oversea hidden bank accounts of the top 1%, and Obama is going after those unpaid taxes, with fines too...the GOP and tea party are fighting for a low 5% tax and no fine..30 years of hidden funds..40 to 100 billion each year in lost Federal Taxes to pay for our military, our Embassies, our Intelligence agencies ...

I still remember the picture of the white van and the Israelis all standing and kneeling in front of the van while the Twin Towers burned in the back ground..I found that picture a little upsetting as a DOD civilian with a TS clearance...

The leaks are probably the result of radical conservatives trying to make our "socialist" president look bad so that Romney will get voted in. The leaks OBVIOUSLY have nothing to do with the president himself. So, bhs, it's your logic that's pathetic.

Blame everything on the conservatives, that"s what the liberals do best to hide their mistakes.

BULL COOKIES! Now the liberals are starting to sound like arabs. If anything goes wrong in an arab country they blame it on Israel. If a democrat can't keep hid mouth shut they blame it on a republican.

Face the truth – Obama has no control over his own party; he is disrespected by other country's leaders; he is unprofessional and he is making a laughing stock of what was once a wonderful country.

Don't you DARE follow his example and blame everyone else – YOU and your dimwiited Liberal friends are responsible. YOU voted him in like the dozy termites you are and like the terminally brain dead you STILL defend him!!!!!! Duh!

It's pretty clear that the current administration does not have our national security in mind. When foreigners are allowed full access to our system, policies send our economy into record losses, it becomes pretty clear that there is a general lack of concern and experience. Pathetic ! ! ! !

Guess you were just born and don't the history of the previous REPUBLICAN president and his administration huh !

Started a war against a country that didn't attack us
Ran a robust economy and stock market off the cliff (after inheriting it and then claiming it was already in recession)
Ran the country as a "bunker mentality"

Republicans are all about one thing – them – not the country other than how they can profit from it. Everything else is just partisan-bs.

Obama IS the most pathetic president we've ever had, now suprassing the legendary jimmy carter. Feckless and willing to do anything to get re-elected. But Obama is toast. Only registered democrats are still supporting him now. He hasn't done anything right and no one (except the far left) are going to vote for him out of the sympathy vote ("I inherited these problems!"). "Forward" = Failure.

You're right. It's just showing the electorate that this Administration is not FIT to govern,

Palintwit – You're spouting "downward blips" – Thanks to Obama's number dyslexia you ain't seen nothing yet. Look and learn:-
USA ECONOMY
[1] Unfunded liabilities are $120 Trillion
[2] ALL Fed revenue from both Income and SS taxes is less than $2,4 Trillion a year [$120T / $2.4T = 50x]
That means every taxpayer would need to pay 50 years of taxes today just to break even!
[3] USA has 100% debt to GDP ratio and that's rising by 10% a year with $1.2T deficits – immediate problem!
[4] 60% of Public debt matures in less than 3 years – that means ....
[5] Astronomical money supply growth [printing money = massive inflation]
[6] That means the looming loss of the US Dollar status as the world's reserve currency.

But according to Obama and the phoney polls – the economy is hunky -dory???????

I'm English and I know this – why don't you Americans stop accepting your media spoon feed and find out for yourselves? And BTW it IS my business..........you go down – you take the rest of us with you!

If you are not enjoying the US...and it;s economy why don't you go back to your conservative Englanddddddd..stupid ass

Stay in England and stay out of American politics. Any person or leader from another country who had no grandparents or great-grand parents working, sweating, and sacraficing to build America, should stay out of American Politics. I don't care what country it is, you have not business in our business and Americans should never doom itself for an ally. As for your talk of phony polls. There is something on the web that talks about the billionaires and corporate heads supporting the GOP, allegedly have a secret agreement to layoff workers close to the election to jerk around the job numbers. Also, allegedly, there is an agreement with GOP supporters that a country who is an ally of the USA, will come up with phony war mongering evidence and cause an incident to screw with our elections and cost Americans lives.. This type of thing should not be tolerated by honest, decent, American citizens. The one thing that is certain is, this President has kept this country safe. We were hit on Bush/Cheney's watch. We have not been hit on this one. We Americabs must do what is right for America, not party. Rom has 17 or more of Bush people working for him and I fear what they will do to our country and kids while their kids stay home in comfort with million dollar trust funds. If the GOP destroys this country, they can live else where, because their money is in off shore accounts and in banks in other countries. Where will your money be and your kids or grandkids be when the GOP cause us to be attacked again?

You must be talking about Bush since all the record losses occurred under his watch. As a matter of fact, alot of the security breeches did too.

Ummm.... There is no question as to who is leaking the information. The White House openly acknowledges when they have invited liberal movie producers to come and interview persons in the know about an operation, or when potus himself has shared information ignorantly in the public record. Sorry!

Do you all live in a cave? The MEDIA is leaking the info (treason I think) probably fed to them by Republicans with their usual sickening agenda. Wake up you guys! You think Obama would deliberately keep a traitor on staff. He cares about this country and our troops more than any Republicans ever have. Do you remember that money making war in Vietnam and oh yeah Iraq. Many people made a lot of money on that war too.

So the DEMOCRATS inside the OVAL Office is allowing the REPUBLICANS to leak all of this? His HAND picked STAFF has NOTHING to do with it? Really? Either you are a Troll – which I hope – or you are completely naive. While the PRESIDENT is giving away our secrets, why don't we just bend over because the rest of the world will make us pay for it.

Did you miss the part of the article where it talks about Obama himself being the one that confirmed that we were using drone strikes while chatting online??? It's not about being a traitor of not loving America. It's about competency and experience.

Bonehead! They listed the parties who had the information that was leaked right in the article. Obama administration officials. Open your eyes. Your messiah is just another narcissist who will do ANYTHING to get re-elected. Including jeopardizing national security and the lives of people abroad who have helped us. THIS one is not the Republicans fault (or George Bush's). Unbelievable!

Great real and stop blaming the republicans on everything man-up democrats, your golden boy likes to toot his horn and be in the spot light. He has a big mouth and doesn't need help from anyone. It must have been from all the sdrugs he did when he was young.
